Redness around stoma after amoxicillin - Need healing advice

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about seeking advice for healing redness around the stoma caused by small seepage after finishing a ten-day course of amoxicillin.

Advice and Insights:
- Remove the bag and let the stoma air out, then apply stoma powder and a barrier wipe to form a crust before reapplying the usual products.
- Use Head and Shoulders shampoo to clean the area and soothe skin irritation.
- Look for the original version of Head and Shoulders or any version with Pyrithione zinc to soothe irritated skin.
- Consider using Karaya powder from Hollister to help with skin irritation and lay on a puppy pad to prevent the bed from getting wet or dirty.
- Use a combination of Original Head and Shoulders to clean the area, Butt Paste diaper rash cream, and Karaya powder to help dry the area and get the bag to stick.
- Consider seeking medical advice and getting a cream from the doctor.
- Take Domboro soaks, a powder mixed with water, and soak a paper towel with it to put around the stoma for soothing relief.
- Apply stoma powder when changing the barrier to keep the skin dry and allow it to heal itself.
- Use Lotrimin powder spray and pat it with no-sting barrier wipes for a cooling sensation and to alleviate irritation under the ostomy pouch.
